I hope you had the chance to order some of the $.75/2 Nabisco coupons that I pointed out to  you on Friday on my Coupons by Darlene page, because they are all sold out on Klip2save.  I don’t have time right now to look at other clippers, so you’ll have to do your own leg work.

I want to let everyone know why I still promote deals for Shaw’s that use coupons with another store’s logo on it.  Dan on Shaw’s facebook page has been stating that they do not accept these coupons. I went back and forth with him about this months ago and he never had a good reason for me as to why he keeps saying they don’t accept them. He says they don’t get reimbursed for them but that’s just not true (call some of the manufacturer’s yourself and ask them!). Then he said it’s because they are retailer coupons, but that’s not true either (they are NOT store coupons!). He finally just said for me to post deals as I see fit, and that’s what I’ve been doing.

Many of you keep pointing out that Shaw’s coupon policy says that they don’t accept coupons with another store’s logo.  There is NO mention of that in the policy at all!  The policy states that they don’t accept other retailer coupons. A manufacturer coupon with another store’s logo on it is NOT a RETAILER coupon.  It’s a MANUFACTURER COUPON. Period.

Sometimes the logo show’s on the coupon image online, but will not show when printed. Sometimes it’s not showing online but will show up on the coupon when printed. There is no way I’m going to print every single coupon to see if another store’s logo will be on the coupon or not.  And there is no reason to since it does not matter.  As long as it’s a manufacturer coupon, we can use it at Shaw’s according to their current policy.  If they don’t want to accept manufacturer coupons with another store’s logo, then they need to change their policy.

Until there is a policy change, I will promote deals for Shaw’s using printed internet coupons with another store’s logo.  If your store gives you a hard time about it, you can give corporate a call and tell them how you feel or what I said (and you can say I sent you), but you’ll probably get nowhere.

As a coupon blogger, I’m expected to abide by store’s printed policies.  I expect them to follow their own policy too. If they want to change the rules, that’s fine by me. But they need to update the policy. UPDATE:  I’m not saying that Shaw’s has to accept coupons with other store logos.  What I’m saying is if they do not accept them, they need to say so in their policy. It’s very easy for them to add that they do not accept manufacturer coupons with another store’s logo.  I’m quite sure that’s what Rite-Aid does (I have not checked the RA policy in a while).

And while I’m on a roll, Shaw’s policy is to double coupons with a value up to $.99 and they allow overages (just won’t give cash back at the end of a transaction). That means that every single coupon that we give them that is $.99 or less and does not state “do not double” should be doubled to the full amount.  If they manufacturer has the coupon coded to double only to the shelf price, Shaw’s should manually double to the full doubled value of the coupon. To not do this is false advertising, plain and simple. I have never found in any of their policies anything that states they double coupons but only if they scan that way. UPDATE: I’m NOT saying that they need to or that I expect them to double all coupons.  I’m saying that they need to add something to their policy and also to their flyer.  All they need to say is something simple like “some restrictions apply” or whatever. As it stands, there is no disclaimer and that looks like false advertising to me. Sort of bait and switch.

Remember those Essential Everyday Cereal coupons I told you to stack?  Well, here’s a way to use them!

NEWBIE NOTE: Since one of the coupons is for Natural cereal, that’s the kind you have to buy. The other coupon is for any cold cereal so you can use that on the Natural cereal. You need to satisfy both coupons.

ANOTHER NEWBIE NOTE: Many manufacturer coupons state that you can’t use another coupon with their coupon but they mean not another manufacturer coupon (meaning you can’t stack two manufacturer coupons). We can use a store coupon with it because that comes out of the store’s pocket, not the manufacturer. It’s the store giving us that discount.

Here’s the deal at Shaw’s Now thru 8/14
Buy (1) Essential Everyday 100% Natural Granola Cereal on sale for $2.50
Use (1) $1/1 Essential Everyday Natural Cereal printable store coupon
Stack with (1) $1/1 Essential Everyday Cold Cereal printable manufacturer coupon
Final price is only $.50!

Thanks, Stupid Louie!
